nobody@vox.com(Web Guy) — Fri, 29 May 2009 22:58:42 +0900

The audio is an attempt to comment on J.M Synge drama, Named “The Play of the Western World” The playboy of the western world is a sheer extravagant comedy as Christy character develops within twenty four hours and amateur Christy absorb consciousness to which he lacks from his childhood. Taking another way it seems a satirical comedy because western Ireland people giving shelter to a murderer who just killed his father. As the listeners like Micheal , Philly & Peegen accomplish murderer story with heroic strength and approved by all the people of Shebeen , complimented for his bravery. In the process all women offers him gifts and Micheal employed him as pot-boy on the suggestion of Pegeen by this encouragement Christy was greatly influenced, generate self confidence. And it will not be certain to Christy to think and comment himself to be idiot for not having killed his father long before. In this play father murder is treated in strange and disturbing way, on second occasion when Christy strikes a blow on his father was consider horrible and people find him dangerous. The second blow by Christy was not to defend himself but to defend his heroic image among the people of Mayo. So the people were motivated for self preservation. Consider First Murder The first murder was an accident, Christy run from the site to escape from legal involvement. He strikes for his self defense. The reason of blowing spade is revealed in Mayo Sheebeen when village girls come to see Christy, it can be assumed Christy spoken lie to the village girls as he want some extra ordinary reason; so he suggested that his father want him to marry old rich widow who fed him milk, or in other words he doesn’t want to damage his new born image and pride. Second murder When Christy and his father meet in Act 3 of the play, the old man started beating and scolding Christy even the Mayo people who considered him for his bravery ridiculed him and his grand image shattered so Christy draws out his courage and blow the spade again on old man head. The second murder is a deliberate reaction on the part of Christy. So the heroic image was rejected by people and they decided to hang Christy on self-preservation ground. In the process Christy realize he doesn’t need fool people of Mayo as Manhood cannot be achieved on false assumption. So the stupid son of Mahon get matured, self confident not by physical power; but by asserting his own power to dominate.

The Alchemist: York Notes Advanced

nobody@vox.com(Web Guy) — Fri, 29 May 2009 22:40:01 +0900

Ben Johnson Alchemist boat us in human nature in general as all the clients who come to Subtle are desirous of achieving wealth without any effort. The conspirators are providing all short of assurance on the basis of Philosopher stone and clients are credulous and easily believe anything by this each and every action contributes to the further supplement of the play. Ben Johnson Proved “The deceiver is more intellectual than deceived”. It is hard to grasp but it is shown in the drama as in my opinion the facts are true evidence. Greed as theme The humor which has been represented in this play is a master passion of greed and this humor is implemented to make the people realize there own shortcoming, follies and in process try to make treatment of them or try to make aware of such absurdities, which generally found in human nature. Well, the real theme of the Alchemist may be described as greed, as characters are involved in greed and wants an easy method to fulfill there needs. Each character has hopes with working wonders and having a protocol to implement it. • Consider Mammon: He wants to establish a new world where each and every thing is converted in to gold. He compares himself to Solomon’s king luxury life. By the use of philosopher stone he can cure all the infectious disease like plague can be drive out of the country. • Consider Drapper (Lawyer Clerk): He wants to give up his profession and want to be a whole time gambler. He wants to acquire an attendant spirit so that he can win money at horse race, card games, dice games etc. • Consider Drugger : He wants a good luck sign for his shop. He wants to cross out unlucky days out of his life. He also desires to marry the widow Dame Pliant. • Consider Ananias: He wants to manufacture of dollars at safest grounds. This act shows the greed and monetary gain as others. Even all three conspirators’ sole aim to acquire as much money at any extend they can. Even the honest character Surly is not far from greediness. Although he was aware of all the fraud process, but with heroic passion (Not described), he want to marry Dame Pliant (A Widow) as she is a rich woman to make his bright fortune. Lovewit who appears at the end of the play also proved himself a greedy man. He decided to take action against the conspirator’s and his butler but later he makes collaboration with Face, on finding opportunity to marry Dame Pliant as offered by Face. One can consider it, as Face Intelligence to offer such bribe to his master, but it depends on internal consciousness of a man to accept it or not. Lovewit accepted it and proved he too lack grace. Lust as Theme Consider a Mammon Case; with the use of Philosopher stone, he want of maintain harem, mistresses, secondary wives just to satisfy his lust. He wants erotic picture all around in room in addition there will be mirrors so that he can see the nude bodies of his mistress. But all this is not enough, as with the use of philosopher stone he will pay the Parents of desire women asking them to lay with her to fulfill his sexual desire. It is a funny assumption according to my opinion that with use of stone he will achieve the power of Hercules to satisfy fifty women in a night. By this Mammon wants a luxury live full of sexual pleasure, when he got the glimpse of Dol Common he ask face to provide her for his sexual pleasure hence it will not be a certain to say Mammon is blind man of lust. It seem a great irony, Mammon character with such intentions, too thinks to do charity, with the use of Philosopher stone he will cure all the infectious disease like plague which can be drive out of the country. In process it can be assumed if he do so, he will just implement it on the beautiful women so after that he can kept them as his mistress. It is hard to digest the Mammon fly of imagination, mean time consider what is use Hercules power if it is not used for social justice. Reality and Illusion The character which have been duped is not because of deficiency of intelligent but due to there greed, blind faith. All of them are taken in assurance by conspirators and at last they receive nothing and all dreams collapsed. Only the Lovewit get the maximum benefit and receive rich prizes without having earned it. Well, Ben Johnson let us to view and differentiate between Reality and Illusion. People what they actually are, are not actual. They are disguising deliberately according to situation. In the starting of the drama, two of conspirator are involved in the quarrel (Subtle and Face), each of them were revealing the other realities. By this one can easily assume there previous life.

John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger": A Study Guide from Gale's "Drama for Students" (Volume 04, Chap

nobody@vox.com(Web Guy) — Sun, 10 May 2009 10:21:17 +0900

Look back in Anger, was published in 1956, Osborne was of 26 at the time of submission of this play at Newly open English Stage Company and this play made his esteemed as dramatist and establish him as “Angry Young Man”. Jimmy Porter is character of dissatisfaction Jimmy psychological complexity is strongly dissatisfied with life in general, leading a routine life with no variety even the Sunday Newspaper having the sameness. Jimmy representing the post-war generation; who founds nothing right with contemporary world. Osborne created Jimmy as an example of the “angry young man”— He wants Alison and Cliff to show some great interest in daily environment. Example Jimmy is not satisfied with the reviews of Sunday newspaper and feels ignorant. Here what actually Jimmy wants in response, a conscious environment, one who can comments on the daily routines of society and make some awareness. But what Jimmy receives only negative aspects so he rages on Cliff Lewis and his wife Alison; as they don’t want to overhead, what is going in the society? The reading “book review” on the “statement of Bishop” and woman meeting to “American Evangelist”, is an attempt by Jimmy to get some comments by his wife. It is always assumed that Woman can understand the other woman pain and it is fact, but Alison response is Zero neither he received any comment from Cliff. Here if Jimmy Frustrates not because of there muteness but because of there social unconsciousness. It will be appropriate “If Jimmy say Cliff and Alison having an attitude of passivity”. Jimmy Says “Nobody thinks, nobody cares, No beliefs, con convictions and no Enthusiasm. Just another Sunday Evening” by one can conclude passivity of Alison and Cliff is not for the first time, it usually happens whenever they gather and because they gather on Sunday, it usually happen so. If Jimmy condemned and give sarcastic comments for Alison family because he thinks, they too; are same as Cliff and Alison. Jimmy makes comments on Alison Family and friends because in his opinion, they provide dull remarks which cannot be ignored by Jimmy. According to Jimmy; Alison Father always thinks about his bright days in India. Jimmy also highlighted the Quality of cabinet minister in the form of Nigel (Alison brother), because they provide dull remarks as Nigel do so. Although Jimmy criticizes, Alison thought out the play but some love is being showered with use of “Bear and Squirrels” Game. The toys acts as the symbolic devices; “Bear” representing “Jimmy” and Squirrel represent “Alison” providing shelter from the unpleasant realities and adjusting them in melodious relationship. This game is the courageous effort in order to compensate themselves for the failure of their marriage, this is because Jimmy and Alison married against the wishes of there parents. Side by side we are all aware animals have natural affections towards each other rather than the intellectual inconsistency nor they have any class distinction, as we see thought out the drama, Jimmy criticize class distinction direct / indirect ways. So the game act as the symbolic device to forget there social hard realities and distinction.
